I don't get all caught up in chasing new products, I am able to get my car shining like these pics using Z2 pro polish, followed by a coat of ZCS clear seal (extreemly quick and easy) followed by a very light coat of Z8 spray, with a light buff using 100% cotton old T Shirts or equivalent really very painless, my car is pretty clean most all the time so I can usually just go over it with a California duster and get busy.
All three if these products require little elbow grease, but of course compared to the old days when a single coat of wax was the thing I guess it's more work, I enjoy doing things like this so I don't really consider it work.
Some of you are correct though there's so many choices of cleaning products on the market now that it can be a bit over bearing trying to figure out what to or not to use, especially if it's someone new to detailing.

My wife is the same way ... I'll spend 2 days detailing her Ruby Red Mustang GT, and she has no qualms at all taking off in rainstorms, even though we have a beater available. Your car looks incredible BTW.
